I read last night that they're considering putting Desharnais on the 1st pairing, glad they're not serious. haha (also isn't he on theright side and Kulak on the left?)

Not a bad lineup but I'd try to get a 2nd line RW, drop Perry to 4th and get rid of Brown. Replacing Ceci with a bonafide 1st pair RD is a dream, but then that lineup is starting to look like something.

Had copied the line combinations but posted them wrong. Desharnais in the top 4 is exactly what they are doing.

Nurse - Desharnais
Kulak - Bouchard
Ekholm - Ceci

oh man! I guess ANH is the team to be trying different things, but it'll be hard for Vinny to play that many minutes error free, and Kulak is about to have one of the toughest games of his career! The only reason Bouchard isn't -50 is because of Ekholm, and I'm not so sure Kulak will be able to sweep up Bouchard's mess like Ek does.

BET.....THE.....OVER!!!!! haha

"The second line of Kane-Draisaitl-Perry is interesting and not in a particularly good way for me. Kane has played a bit better defensively but still is a slower player and Perry is also no spring chicken. That puts a ton of effort solely on Draisaitl to be the player to bring up the puck. If an opponent double teams him I don't know how well that line can generate offense".

The Draisaitl line was our best line out there tonight.

Kane is not slow, at all...he's quite fast, so is Leon.
